Hello, I'm Rachael -a former assistant PK + kindergarten teacher at Da Vinci Waldorf School, mother of two, and a lifelong student of child development, mindfulness, and conscious communication. I'm now offering private, holistic childcare for preschool and early elementary ages in Irmo, Lexington, and Columbia. My approach is gentle, creative, and heart-centered - blending imaginative play, outdoor exploration, and nervous-system-aware support for your child's whole wellbeing. What I Offer • Waldorf-informed rhythms • Nature-based, imaginative play • Mindful communication & emotional attunement • Gentle structure with creative arts • Warm, nurturing, grounded presence • Healthy snacks & simple meal prep • Light tidying & household support I like working with kids because I love helping them to feel safe, confident, and supported in who they are. I'm looking for a healthy, respectful family dynamic where my experience and intuition are valued.
